Great for swimming in summer. Otherwise always nice to hike or cycle around it. There is a parking lot at Moritzsee, which is chargeable from May to September.

A great view of the Westbruch from the highest ridge, which is about 27 meters high. The rock is granite porphyry, which is still quarried today. You can also climb and dive here.

The Moritzsee is surrounded by forest and lots of fresh air. As soon as you approach one of the surrounding cycling and hiking trails, you can smell the spicy scent of the pine and beech trees, feel the sun shining through the leaves and enjoy the sparkling clear water. Swimming in a lake with drinking water quality. What more could you want?! Please keep the lake and its banks clean. Right next door, the Grillensee invites you to swim and relax in the same idyllic setting.

The path leads directly past the pond, which is a fishing water. A great place for a rest.
